Proven techniques and gear to increase your catch of yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper and mangrove snapper. Filmed while fishing in the Florida Keys.
Glad you like the videos. We will make more . ... These techniques ork very very well out of our home port of Ponce Inlet ( Daytona Beach) Florida for big mangrove snapper . Remember ... light line and natural drifting bait. Keep the comments coming !
Bsring chum is correct. In Jamaica we use fries, minnows we catch in the early morning hours, we keep the bait iced up for the day and set to go night fishing to a bank called California bank, located 8 miles off Port Royal ( yes the wickedest town in the Caribbean seas, where the pirates used to set sail and ambush the Spanish ships sailing back to Spain with gold). We use the same technic : anchor in about 40 feet and fish in waters over 70 to 80 feet. Current is very very important. This lets your bait drift to where the yellow tails are awaiting the chum and your baited hook. Every so often we cut up the minors and let the baited hook drift with the chum. We use more chum bait that actual bait to catch the fish. It is exactly the same technic used everywhere yellow tail are to be found. The more chum you give them the better. So you have to constantly chum and chum. That is the secret to catching yellow tail snappers. We use 2 number 2 hooks, no sinker and we use hand line, no fishing reel. We protect our finger with a bicycle tyre tube. We really feel the fish as you are 100 % connected directly to the fish. Line in your hand and at the end only your hook. We use 45 lbs test line as these yellow tails weight form 2 lbs to 4 lbs.
Hey Joe I beg to differ because my techniques are vastly different to what u do because I use weights because of the current typically 1 1/2 Oz sinkers , and I don't chum either yellow tails are fairly greedy I am from Grenada and I caught yellows as large as 8 to 10 lbs over recks my advise to anyone who wants to know about yellow tail fishing just try ur own technique experience is ur greatest teacher. Ps. this is not me hating on anyone peace n love my brother
great vid ! You can make your own chum No need to get ripped off at basspro lol use oats some a bit of sand,water and grind up some thread herring and a few packets of chicken stock and your all set you can use some raw rice instead of sand which they also eat.Also squid heads in there ground up drive yellows nutts
Hi Manny , we actually make some of the chums sold at Bass Pro . For years I made my own recipes ... but found my time was worth more than my money and started buying chum . Then as our business in fish food grew, we saw an opportunity to make a product that works great, is convenient and saves time (time IS money) and thus ... Yellowtail up and Snapper up chum was born .
no need for weight typically . if you wrap some of the chum around the bait ..it will sink well. just be sure there is no tension on the line pulling out .good luck!
+Makingthepush What they are doing is called flat lining or slack lining. The idea being a natural bait presentation. Often it is done with a shrimp on a bare hook. I recommend a circle hook otherwise every fish will swallow the hook. Hook the shrimp through the tail length wise trying to hide most of the hook. And then let is float in the chum slick with a slack line. Let it go till it reaches the end of the chum slick. Great technique, but a little limited as you need some current and chum.
You're telling me something now I already know how the fish you need small hooks and you hide your hook with a fish can't see it small hooks not too big and not too small I was born and raised down in the keys in Miami you tell me something now or you know
Joe Pawlak hi Joe, I'm vacationing next week just north of marathon on Conch key. Loved the video! I'll be fishing alot and would love to try for yellow tails. Would you share a good GPS coordinate with me? Thanks a bunch.
Best help I get on RUclips. Hate jus watching others fish with no explanation
Great video, enjoyed it. I also mix oatmeal, cooked rice, menhaden oil and place a silverside on the hook. Works great! I prefer 60 feet of water.
Great video very specific.....some of these other guys don't tell you anything....just watching them fish to be on RUclips
A lot of good detail.Joe and great job and illustrating your gear that you use.
Great video!! One of my favorite fish to catch and your spot on with your tutorial.

+Naked Acres Thank you very much. These guys are great bait stealers without some knowledge.
Naked Acres probably the best technique for reef fishing Although your limited to the strength of the current
amd depth of the floor
